The CPU usable limit is about 1.8 vs. stock 1.5 Ghz. So you can get a little more, but you have to remember for most of the intensive tasks, its not the CPU.... but the GPU that does the brunt of the work, therefore you might not even notice the difference when the CPU is overclocked. For example your Gt3 game won't frame any faster because the video is rendered by the GPU, not the CPU. The custom kernels also enable some difference CPU governor schemes, which might improve observed performance for some things. All of these things factor into battery usage. In general increased performance means more aggressive use of battery power.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
I actually would prefer under clocking, undervolting better process management. I want better battery life.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Leedroids, custom kernel , and others, allow for under or over and also for precise voltage adjustments at each speed. Other ways to get better battery are various governors that are less aggressive than the performance governor. Check the Leedroid and other treads for more info. Of course the biggest power eaters are the display and the GPU, if you are doing video or games the GPU will consume a lot and there is not much to can do with that. Display on eats battery, you can reduce brightness to help.

I recently restored my tablet because i have to send it back to sony for a repair (headphone jack was faulty) and i tried to reinstall some basic every day use apps, but google talk seems to be missing from the market?

I searched the market on my laptop to be sure it was gone, and i cannot find it. can anyone else see if they can confirm this so i don't seem like a mad man?
[Sony Tablet S] unclespoon:
I couldn't find it in the market either because I believe that's an app that's preinstalled only; some vendors have deals with yahoo, etc., and do not want google talk preinstalled or even available. It is, however, presintalled on the tablet since apparently I have it on mine. It's listed under "talk," not "google talk" so maybe there's the error as well. Let us know what you find out!

Hey All,

Happy new year! :D

Anyone got a really good 32GB microSD card that can handle the HD recording?

I recorded a video on a class 4 card and was getting some good pixelations. I've been doing some reading, and it seems different brands sometimes don't work well with Androids or that transfer speeds to/from PC are good but writing speed is lower than as advertised.

Cheers!

[HTC Amaze 4G] junkeeroo:
Ok, had a read through the other 2 threads that never popped up in my initial thread search...and they, like the PNY sd card thread that I'd already read, don't talk specifically about an SD card for HD video recording. Those threads are concerned with SD cards for basic file storage and transfer.

SD card quality makes a difference when it comes to writing the larger amounts of data processed while the HD cam is processing the images...the card needs to be fast enough to write that data or else you'll get the choppy, pixelated videos like I'm getting with my class 4 Lexar 16GB card.

nguyendqh, thanks. Ideally need a 32 GB card though...use my phone a lot for video lectures/animations and as my main point and shoot camera.

Still appreciate any good user experiences out there...

[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Or you can just save in the internal SD and you won't lose quality :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I Posted this in another forum but I think it belongs here more, for those of you who think higher class SD cards are better at video recording :), class 2 is sufficient for the amaze.

anything over class 4 sacrafices random read/write speeds...meaning, just to write faster the data is more fragmented. Over time, the speed becomes slower and the table used to keep track of data must access parts of the fragments that are free...this reduces performance in higher class cards...if you look at Sandisk they their class two performs way above the minimum write speed, almost double...I always buy sandisk...nothing else...their quality is unmatched...they are the pioneers...A class 4 or class 6 sandisk would outperform many of the class 10's that people are buying right now.

Sometimes as Binary's card has, they lose integrity because of this reason...the index becomes messed up and the data becomes lost eaiser in higher class SD cards and lower quality SD cards...I believe Sandisk tries to minimize this even in their higher speed cards...

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 AM ----------

If you guys take a look at the bitrate of the 1080p video and also add the audio bit rate it doesn't even come close to being 2 MB/s write speed which is a class 2 SD card...the highest bitrate for video I got was 11182 (kilobits per second) = 1.36499023 megabytes per second...add the 127kbps of sound and you barely have 1.4 MB/s write speed needed for the HD video recorded by our amaze...hope this clears things up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] junkeeroo:
Thanks for that, Seansk. I had a read on perhaps the same thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150369. So, I'm guessing that Random Write Speed is more important than Sequential Write Speed for video recording. Or is it?

From ehow: "Crystal Disk Mark will measure the sequential writing speed, as well as random writing speeds. For most purposes, the sequential writing speed is the number you are looking for, so you can save some time by just running that test. The random tests are only important if you plan on writing a lot of tiny files."

I'm trying to piece together the jargon to figure out what's what...and which answer is the truth. Here's conflicting opinions on class # for HD vid shooting...

"Class 10 is better for transferring data or for users who shoot a lot of high res video and pictures. Class 4 or 2 is better for general use where you have a ton of apps and data cached on the SD card. So, really, if you don't shoot much video or photos, you'll never really have a problem with the Class 2 card. I would define a lot of video/photos as more than 1 video or 10 pictures a day. Basically where you replace you camera with your phone kind of situation. Most users should stick with lower class cards since they don't fall into that category."

another says...

"Higher the class,the lower it gets with random speeds and may be , lower performance when used in cell phones.

Hence the reccomendation to use class4 cards for large size cards like 32gb.

This might change in future when they find ways to improve the random speeds.

On the other higher class cards are good for normal data transfer like bunch of music or movies from the pc to card or vice verssa"
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
No, If you have a lower speed SD card it will write data more sequentially...think of it as a rectangle that gets filled up from left to right...lower speeds fill up the rectangle from left to right and in some instances jump around to write data on the middle end ect....higher speeds write data every where all at the same time...they don't have time to write it sequentially, they have to be fast...so they are fragmented more, than a slower speed sd carsd...there's also an index where it tells the card where in the rectangle a certain data is stored. something that is wrote sequantially will be easier to access and and have faster read speeds. Its kinda like when a hard drive is defragmented, if you read about fragmented hard drive you will sorta get the point.

so a slower sd card would write data more like this (more sequentially) and have a faster random read write speed:

while a faster sd card would write data more like this (less sequentially and more fragmented) and have slower random read and write speed:

Random read and write is what is most important for integrity of your SD card.

so as you can see its easier to access information on the first picture then try to look around for information on the second picture.

here's also another site explaining this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150369
[HTC Amaze 4G] junkeeroo:
OK, I think I've found an answer that seems logical and satisfies me:

"...the class system is indeed the minimum writing speed, but the story is a bit more complex. For cameras, I'd look at the sequential write speed (especially for video), and writing smaller files in sequence.

Random write speeds also depend on the memory controller, and are not a general-use scenario for photographers (your camera doesn't place pictures all over the card, it just starts at the beginning of the memory space)."

So sequential write speed seems to be the more important factor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Mainly sandisk and to a less extent some other ones are good at getting good random access and/or random read/write speeds.

---------- Post added 7th January 2012 at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was 6th January 2012 at 11:59 PM ----------

The distinction is very important in traditional disk-based systems, where each disk seek will take around 10ms. Sequentially writing data to that same disk takes about 30ms per MB. So if you sequentially write 100MB of data to a disk, it will take around 3 seconds. But if you do 100 random writes of 1MB each, that will take a total of 4 seconds (3 seconds for the actual writing, and 10ms*100 == 1 second for all the seeking).

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

YES that is correct, but remember you put other things on your SD card too like small files like apks, backups etc...so you need a good balance of both!!!! a class 2 has a minimum random read/write speed of 2 MB/s which is more than what our camera records at anyways... The sequential speed is usually faster maybe 5 or 6MB/s which is WAAAAAAAAAY more than what we need, for writing movies on our phones even at 1080p. on the other hand video cameras might write at a much higher bitrate than our phone and might need a faster SD card which is better at writing sequentially :)

I had the Same issue coming from the nexus s. the tricky bit is that rom manager does not support the transformer. I've got a galaxy tab 10.1 as well and flashing over a custom recovery was easy as pie.

anyway, what you have to do is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213723

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093818)

then you need to install an app (i use reboot2recovery) from the marketplace to get into the custom recovery. i've tried quickboot or rom manager but all it does it take me to a black screen or reboot the device. reboot2recovery will actually drop you into clockworkmod recovery. from there, do your nandroid backup. you'll need an SD card in your transformer for it to actually go ahead with the backup.

aside: from my reading, the backup should backup to internal storage with that modded clockwork. i've never been able to get it to work though. anyway, just use an SD card for now so you can get through the difficult stuff.

so at this point uve done the following:

installed clockwordmod using the first 2 links and installed the reboot2recovery APK to get into recovery.

now you have an SD card in your transformer and you are doing a nandroid backup.

once completed, put the 200+mb revolver rom on the root of your SD card. you may also want to put another kernel. i use the one recommended by revolver.

now just wipe the cache, data, etc as usual. now flash the rom, reboot the system when completed. plug in your gmail account, wifi password etc. and then reinstall the reboot2recovery apk. now reboot to recovery and then flash the kernel. reboot and ure good to go. install revolver parts to allow for additional tweaking and OTA updating.

i got my transformer from bestbuy this thanksgiving and went to revolver 3.9.5 immediately. last night i actually flashed revolver 3.11 right over it. not a single problem.

edit: reading the above post, i remember that my FIRST recovery installation was using that one-click tool and, as was said, it works flawlessly. you still need the reboot2recovery though. and recoveryinstaller WILL NOT install the modified for internal storage version of clockwork. i'm thinking maybe i just havent tried backing up since updating to the internal storage version, which is why i think i've "never gotten it to work"

If you have not rooted your tablet .. Nothing you delete will mess up the system. As a non rooted tablet has access to such stuff..

1.You can delete the folder..

2 .. you can totally reset your tablet..

GO TO SETTINGS.

Privacy .

Reset Factory defaults ..

also you can hold the vol toggle with screen lock on. while powering up. once you feel the tablet buz release the power button and toggle the screen rotation back and forewords ones This resets tablet to default .I am however not positive it will clean those orphan folders.

Others will tell you for sure just watch this thread...

if you are rooted there are more options thru cwm..

good luck..

[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
you need to do a hard reset :

When tablet is powered off do this :

- hold and press both power and volume UP (do that with one hand)

- get a finger from your other hand ready at the screenlock switch

- when the tablet vibrates release the powerbutton, hold the volume Up button an switch a couple of times the screenlock switch (all at the same time, i know its a bit tricky)

if succesfully done you will see small white words apear in the upper left corner, saying : wiping cache etc.

this method is called a hard reset and wipes everything of your tablet, even your pictures, documents or whatever you have stored on the internal SD.

Hope this helps.
